It’s in System->Config->Catalog->Google Sitemap – I should make that clear in the blog post, thanks for the heads up.

Hi Ashley,

Thanks It was a nightmare to cleanup, but I think we’re more solid than ever now, so I ’spose it was for the best. It was actually vulnerabilities in an old WordPress installation I hadn’t updated or removed & wasn’t using – laziness on my part pure and simple.

I’ll keep my eyes here for updates & will just alter perms manually in the meantime.

Thanks again!

Sorry to hear about your hack – was it a vulnerability in Magento or some other PHP script? God suggestion to limit the sitemap permissions.The sitemap.xml is actually generated by the built in Magento code, I just took a look though and I think I could add something to my extension to tweak the permissions. I’ll add it to the list of features for the extension, and update it when I’m next on the train.

Hi Ashley,

I’ve just recovered from having my site hacked (grr, PHP code injection) & am concentrating on hardening security wherever I can. I noticed last night that the sitemap.xml file generated by your extension always sets itself to 666 permissions, meaning that it’s world writable. It’s easy enough for me to change the perms, but a bit of a headache to have to remember to redo it every time it gets generated. Is there something in the code I could change to make the file always generate with 644 permissions?

Thanks!!

I should have mentioned that the specific issue is that I can enter the Yahoo API code etc under the configuration part, but that when I run the Submit option for the sitemap, I get the following error.

Fatal error: Call to undefined method Varien_Http_Adapter_Curl::getInfo() in /home1/myweb/public_html/mywebsite/app/code/community/Aschroder/SitemapSubmit/Model/Submit.php on line 126

However, manual generation does work as expected.

Hi Ashley,

I have tried the plugin on Magento 1.2.x, but cant see the set-up forms etc. Does it work on this platform?

Thanks,
Gary

Finally managed to get my rewrites working properly, so the sitemap extension is behaving just as it should for me now. Good luck w/ the potential bug fix & thanks again for a great addon!

oh – it might be a bug then – If url rewrites are off then I need to return the base URL without index.php, I’ll look into it when I get a moment. Thanks for the heads up.
